2. Life

In this game, you get married and buy a house. It can spark conversations about your real life plans for where you want to hold your wedding and where you want to live in the future.

3. Monopoly

If you've ever played this game before, you know it can get pretty brutal. But if you and your man are meant to be, then you'll be able to finish a game without hating each other by the end of it.

4. Battleship

If you can read your partner's face well, then you shouldn't have too much trouble winning this little game.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Trouble

This is an easy game that you two can play when you want to relax. There aren't too many rules to learn, so you'll be able to have a conversation about something fun without getting confused about whose turn it is or what to do next.

6. Scrabble

If you both love words, then this is the perfect game to play. Instead of relying on luck, it forces you to use your brain power.

7. Checkers

There must be a checker board around the house somewhere. Pull it out and challenge your boyfriend to a few rounds. If you can't find one, then just visit Cracker Barrel to play.

8. Chess

If you don't know how to play chess yet, then it's time to learn. It'll help you keep your brain active, because it requires a lot of skill and strategy.

9. Boggle

Here's another great game for word lovers. It'll help you see which one of you has the largest vocabulary.

10. Candy Land

You can act like kids again by playing a game that's meant for children. Candy Land is a classic, so challenge each other to a few rounds while sitting underneath a blanket fort.

11. Clue

This game works best with a lot of players, so invite some of your couple friends over. Then you can see who's the Sherlock Holmes of your group.

12. Operation

Who has the steadier hand? You'll find out if you play this game together.

13. Trivial Pursuit

This game will help you see who holds the most knowledge about random facts.

14. Jenga

See how high you two can stack the blocks without making them fall.

15. Pictionary

If you're both artists, you'll love playing this game. Of course, if you both suck at drawing, it'll be even more fun.

16. Guess Who

If you want to make the game more personal, you can replace the character's faces with pictures of your friends and family.

17. Chutes and Ladders

This is another game meant for little kids, but you can relive your childhood by playing it together. It'll be great practice for when you have kids of your own.

Go out and buy these games, so you two have something fun to do on rainy days. What's your favorite board game?

Holly, I need you to write more short stories about love! They are the best and I've been waiting so long for one - checking every day! You are such an awesome writer and it'd just be so nice if you did short stories more often!

Ticket to ride is fun too (many extension packs). I do love to play clue and mastermind as well.

Yahtzee! My hubby and I played WAR the card game... It's not a board game but we had a LOT of fun lol! It's always fun when u bet something (could be naughty or not lol) if one or the other wins.😁
